Materials
Polycarbonate: This material is often used in eyewear for extreme activities because it provides high impact protection and is very lightweight.
Mineral: Mineral glasses lenses that undergo extensive processing to become resistant to impacts and scratches and provide high infrared ray absorption.
CR39: An organic resin used to make lenses featuring maximum impact protection, maximum resistance to particles and high resistance to punctures.
Nylon: A material that combines the excellent properties of polycarbonate with superior elasticity to make the lenses even more resistant.
PLZ (Polarized)
PLZ Pro
Treatments
PLZ (polarized): Polarized lenses attenuate the reflection of light on surfaces such as water and ice, improving vision in strong light.
PLZ PRO: In addition to polarization these lenses undergo another specifically hydrophobic treatment which prevents water droplets from depositing on the lens surface, this means great visibility in the wettest conditions and even in water uses.
M.C. (Mirror Coating): Mirror coating is a special treatment that gives the lens surface a shiny mirror-like appearance to reflect rays from surfaces such as water, snow and ice and increasing light filtration.
AR (Anti Reflective): The internal surface of the lens is specially treated to reduce light reflection.
